SCHAUMBURG--While I enjoyed Phil Rogers' article regarding a manager's Impact Factor in the Baseball Preview section (Tribune, March 29), I must point out a major flaw in the formula he devised. Rogers created a formula to calculate the impact managers have on the win-loss record of a team through an entire 162-game season. As all baseball fans know, weather, stadium configuration and just plain luck play major parts in determining the outcome of a game. Rogers' formula disregards these factors entirely and...

An anti-abortion activist urged the University of Notre Dame on Tuesday to cancel a class on public policy taught by Bill Bradley because of the former senator's pro-abortion voting record in his 18 years in Congress.

Scheidler is executive director of the Pro-Life Action League based in Chicago. Notre Dame spokesman Dennis Moore said the university also...

Contrary to rumors circulating on the Internet and around the country, Notre Dame has no plans to drop its longtime mascot nor its teams' "Fighting Irish" nickname, a university spokesman said Tuesday. Reports of the mascot's imminent demise or plans to drop his pugilistic pose are "simply untrue," Dennis Moore said. "I want to put this rumor to rest." But alumnus John Vannie of San Diego remains wary. He makes no apologies...

Notre Dame representatives will appear at a hearing of the Committee on Infractions on June 4 in Indianapolis to discuss the school's violations of National Collegiate Athletic Association rules.

The hearing is separate from the criminal investigation St. Joseph County...

Dennis Moore, a university spokesman, said the matter is being investigated by campus police, who obtained a search warrant and entered the apartment on Friday. A 27-inch television set and a VCR were recovered with serial numbers that matched those of items...

In a strange turn of events that shook classical station WFMT-FM 98.7, program director Dennis Moore resigned Friday, only to reconsider the move Monday after an emergency meeting with Anders Yocom, the station's general manager. Moore wouldn't comment on why he tendered his resignation, which caught senior management by surprise. Station sources speculated the move may have been tied to recent personnel issues. Last week, in a move to cut costs, the station fired Jim Unrath, who...

Notre Dame's expected appearance before the NCAA Committee on Infractions is the result of a cautious approach rather than any specific damaging evidence that could lead to serious sanctions, the Tribune has learned. Two people with knowledge of the process said Monday that the committee's anticipated request to conduct a hearing is based on the number of students to receive gifts from convicted embezzler Kim Dunbar and the amount of money involved. The two sources, both from...
